    While in Japan, Shen Yun’s New York Company members went all out not only on stage but with their cameras. We decided these photos warranted their own special collection.

  • Moments of calm amidst a busy performance schedule, which included, for the first times, shows in Kyoto. (Photo by Kenji Kobayashi)

  • Another shot of Mt. Fuji. (Photo by Kenji Kobayashi)
  • One more look at the volcano from behind a traditional pagoda. (Photo by Kenji Kobayashi)
  • The beautiful scenery and temples surrounding Mt. Fuji inspire serenity and self-examination. Our dancer Alex Chun took the opportunity for a tranquil meditation with the great Sacred Mountain as a perfect background.
  • Join us for a look behind the artists’ lens. These photos were taken this past week by Shen Yun performers while on the road during the 2017 tour.
